Trying to bring these babies back. Today I added liquid plant food to the water. Hope to see improvement in the next few weeks.

I’m debating on doing this cause my golden pothos has gnats I tried hydrogen peroxide and water spray and houseplants systemic powder  
Not sure what I’m doing wrong. The mix is perlite , orchid bark ( coarse one) and black gold indoor plant soil  
I’m praying it will survive

I had the same issue awhile back. I propagated all the stems before it died and there doing great in there mason jar. I still haven’t pot them maybe later but honestly there doing great.

Update \*\* I ended up transferring the plants to a mix of general purpose soil mixed with orchid potting mix hoping it helps with root aeration. The roots looked like they were rotting. I cut the damaged sections, washed them well and placed them in the soil mix. Watered with a gentle mix of liquid plant food. Hope this helps. BTW the water in my house is soft. Maybe that affected the roots when the plants were in plain water.  
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
